Stress Management

STRESSSSS!!!

It affects us all. Many people are feeling pushed, rushed, hustled, and under too much responsibility. So, how do we cope with all this?

First of all, a stressor is not in and of itself stress. When you get a flat tire and it appears you will be late for a meeting, that is called a stressor. How you react to it, mentally and physically is stress. Our mental attitude and physical condition have much to do with how we react to stress. Even our diet, yes I said diet, has an effect on our stress reaction. If we lack B vitamins, eat too much sugar, or drink caffeine, we will have a reduced ability to cope with stress.

So eat right and accept the things you cannot change,
